nanoUFOReport: Fall Guys dev Mediatonic "decimated" by Epic layoffs
echo64It’s cool how you can be providing the labor for a company and then that company gets bought by another company and the shareholders who don’t actually make the thing get rich and then you get fired because the other company has a bad year even though the thing you labored for is incredibly successful.
Tangentially, I haven’t played in ages but they should have made it local coop so we can have fun on the courses without having to play through the same few opening courses and deal with lobbies.
Yeah, them deciding that no stage is sacred and not allow for any offline or private play was extremely frustrating and made it so that I just lost the ability to give a shit at all about the game
Custom lobbies (i.e. the exact feature you’re asking for) were launched in December 2020, in beta mode, then March 2021 to everyone. So the feature you wanted has been there for over 2.5 years.
It’s always fascinating to me to see highly rated comments that are pretty out of touch with the actual subject matter.
To me it just shows that they made the change far too late for anyone to even notice. It’s not reasonable to be a subject matter expert in every game one’s ever played.
Exactly this, I see this a lot in the Joe Rogan…“I bet you haven’t watched all his shows, so how can you say you don’t like him” you should’nt need to know everything in detail to form an opinion
Comparing fall guys to Joe Rogan is quite the stretch, I respect your commitment to doubling down.
Doubling down on what exactly? Man why are you so weird accusing me of editing comments and “doubling down” when all I’m doing is no changing my view based on an irrelevant reply from you.
And I compared the argument that “you can’t have a view on something without having an intimate and indepth knowledge of topic” especially when that view is whether or not you take part in the piece of media.
How does a custom lobby relate to local coop? And how does it help in getting to play selected courses?
Umm, it looks like you changed your original post based on my response. If you had only mentioned local co-op, I would not have said what I did.
Check the edit log I didn’t change anything you odd ball
cobysevThey should’ve stuck with Steam instead of going exclusive through Epic Games. Epic’s predatory practice of PC exclusives makes it hard to survive something like this. If they existed on a broader spectrum of services, this would be no big deal.
Um, they were purchased by Epic. They didn’t have a choice.
They did have a chocie They shouldn’t have sold themselves to epic and instead took the next best offer that came along

Everybody knows first party exclusives are evil!
The Rocket League devs made it work somehow.
Not on Linux they didn’t!
I guess by making it work you mean not having a significant change outside of the introduction of tournaments and knockout ltm both of which were launched years ago. I love the game to death but Psyonix isn’t doing shit besides making cosmetics and supposedly migrating to Unreal 5 which we’ve not heard a peep about in ages.
I wish they would’ve actually kept developing the game but its a cosmetic collectathon now.
You still can’t get Rocket League on Steam on an account that didn’t already have the game bought before it was F2P. Is this the case for Fall Guys, or did they go further and stop updating the Steam version?
21Cabbage‘Epic layoffs’ is a pretty funny term in a vacuum.
ithasThey just did that FF14 collab too... I think the fall guys portion of it was already accessible but I think the ff14 event is coming up next patch?
FavrionI remember the 29 days when Fall Guys was relevant.
The four days before cheating became rampant were amazing
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆Wait… was it a leap year this year? 🤔
Welp. I only played Murder By Numbers from them, but it's sad to see a studio you know get hit like that.
BlackmistI played it obsessively for the first season and got pretty decent at it.
The second season started, I got disconnected from my first four games about 3 rounds into each. Played it once more on the day that you could cheese the Infallible achievement by running Hoverboard Heroes over and over.
Never played it again. Certainly never touched it since it went “free”.
As someone who has played the game from day 1, and almost every day since, it’s a shame that this game that already is on auto drive will be crippled even further. If you have a bunch of friends who just wanna chat and don’t wanna play something competitive it fills all those roles.
I guess we should expect even less changes and content going forward… I know the level creation was just created to allow the community to provide free content so I wonder what else they can do to continue this or if the game will just die off.
